Xyience
Created by iTs_NeXn, Iv0rY Snak3 and DeKnoZx

MLG maps are known for their strong emphasis on team work, their perfect, seamless forging and their balance. Xyience manages to retain those all important factors of MLG maps, within a unique, asymmetrical environment, which is very much akin to Halo: CE map Damnation.
As far as aesthetics go, Xyience is only able to boast clean forging, as MLG maps must be within the default budget limit, but the forging on the map is spectacular. To allow all of the four floors into the map whilst avoiding the height barrier that foundry has, the entire first floor of boxes were geo-merged into the ground so that they were low enough to allow the top floor, whilst still preventing players from jumping from the ground floor up onto them.

Gameplay on Xyience is like nothing ever before seen in an MLG map. Combat focuses on vertical battles, and controlling the window side walkway, the top floor and the sniper platform, whilst still tempting teams to jump to the lower levels for the all important rocket launcher and overshield. There are many ramps up to the higher levels, along with the odd secret jump for the more skilled players, which creates a constant movement around the map.

Overall, Xyience offers an experience that is new to all players, not just MLG fans, whilst still honouring the MLG style and gameplay.

wow I didnt think this would be featured cuz when I played it, it had some problems. In my opinion the spawns on the map are not feature worthy, but the athethics are. Great map just needs some help on spawns

OMG yes! I have to say this map should have been featured already. It has one of the most unique MLG layouts you will find out there and offers some intense highground/lowground based gameplay. Seriously this deserves to be here definately deserves a space on your hard drive if you are into MLG and looking for something new

Wow, took a while to feature this. It was fun, though kinda no MLGish. Idk. I guess that's why it says a different type of MLG.

this map should been featured a month ago, good gameplay which is always the most important factor in MLG. The layout is one of the most unique i have ever seen. There aren't many a-symmetrical MLG maps on foundry that actually work and flow well, but this map has worked well with the a-symmetrical, and I'm so happy that we are finally starting to move away from the onslaught layout, which is amazing yet over-used. The only problem is the teleporter, i know it is needed for the gameplay but it just isn't MLG-ish if you know what I mean. The merging and the interlocking on this map is absolutely beautiful and you (Iv0rY, Zonked, and Nexn) managed to make a MLG map on foundry that had great gameplay while having the rockets and the sniper, while most successful MLG maps on foundry have neither of the two. Xyience is an amazing map which definitely deserves to be on every MLG lover's hard drive.
